Art Creations Friday - Face at the window

I love the challenge picture - great colour and texture and one to keep for other layouts that's for sure.

Theme Thursday - Santa

This week's theme is "Santa". Christmas in Australia is vastly different to Christmas in the northern hemisphere. I have painted my own Santa (and cushion). All other bits and pieces have been Googled and altered a little.

Great challenge!! The mermaid is an original drawn and painted by me (digitally), using mouse in "ArtRage" painting software. (Click on photo to enlarge - looks better in full size).

Mixed Media Monday - The Eyes Have It

Thanks to the lovely Indybev for hosting this week's challenge! I have drawn the lady but her eyes were Googled so she is really seeing through someone else's eyes which is the theme of the quote I included. The background paper is by Lorie Davison at Scrapbookgraphics/

ArtcreationsFriday - Tattered Dreams

Congratulations on the opening of a new and exciting challenge. Thanks so much for the beautiful image. How could one go wrong with this?

Gothic Arch - Celebrate

I wasn't sure what we are celebrating so I chose "generic". (We don't have Thanksgiving Day in Australia).

Sunday Postcard - The Joker

My Joker is an original except for his hands (which I do badly) from my computer software. He is a wee bit scary but I did enjoy drawing him. Guess I got a bit carried away.

A Moo or Two - Pets

Background paper by Irene Alexeeva. Image from an old magazine cover.

Great challenge! My take on it is a rather busy collage. Thanks to Lorie Davison at Scrapbookgraphics and Tangie Baxter for some of the bits and pieces.

TMTA - Food and Drink - Strawberries and Cream

Great challenge! It is late spring and strawberry season here in Oz so my thoughts turned to large, dark red, juicy strawberries and whipped cream.

Window by Kubivet (freebi from her Blogpost) and papers by Irene Alexeeva. Image one I have had on my computer for a very long time. I believe it was Googled.

Gothic Arches - Silhouettes

Nice challenge. I painted the background (inside template) and added a digital stamp by Katie Pertiet (Designer Digitals). The stars are by Jofia Devoe who also designed the paper background surrounding the template.

Sunday Postcard - Hats

Great challenge. For me it was a chance to use some of my own photos of flowers. I used a hat by Kubivet (freebie at Kubivet's blog) which I covered with the flower photos.

The image is from a Maya collage sheet (Scrapbookgraphics). Frame stamp by Katie Pertiet at Designer Digitals. Background paper freebie by Irene Alexeeva.

Simply Skinnies - Air Travel

Why does a skinny look wider when placed on its side? (I did make sure the canvas measued 5 x 3 inches. Thanks for the challenge, Carole. My take on it is a wee bit ancient. Girl, globe and case by Kubivet (thanks for the freebies Kubivet!). Trunk by JenU Designs. Posters, plane and map Google Images. Grunge overlay by Berna Datema at Scrapbookgraphics.

A Moo or Two - The first time

The first time I attempted to make a Moo I thought to myself "What the?" How could anyone fit all the bits and pieces into one tiny and skinny template? It is still a challenge but a very enjoyable one.

The image comes from a collage sheet by Maya at Scrapbookgraphics and the background paper is by Irene Alexeeva.

Theme Thursday - Birds

I painted the bird and added a paper background and girl by Lorie Davison (Scrapbookgraphics).

The bubbles are an action on computer software PhotoImpact12.

Think Monday Think ATC - Angels

What a nice challenge!

Here is my "hybrid" angel. Googled image with doodled wings by Ruth Davis. Background paper by Lorie Davison.

Mixed Media Monday - Autumn

Love those rich autumnal tones. I have to play this by ear because, of course, it is spring down here in the southern hemisphere. Added to that, I live in an evergreen world where the leaves don't change colour and fall.
The lady in question was wearing very little so I have added some lace to cover her assets. I am not sure where the image comes from. I have had it in my folders for a long time. The papers and tag frame are from the wonderful and generous Kubivet who regularly posts her original and scrumptious freebies on her blog.

Sunday Postcard - Movies

Our todays are the good old days of our tomorrows.
